thanks for these information, i learnt from it and i also see it as an eye opener. although you have said it all ... there is no 100% precautions that proof safety when it comes to internet fraud but we just have to be care in all our dealings to avoid scammers.




I do not think Share your real social media account with a random person, save your email address for yourself and if you must use it be sure to have an email burner. What is a burner? Emails are not necessarily made for every forum and project. Only emails that do not contain your personal data and which you do not use for online shopping, banking, and so on.
You must first realize what they want from you. In the end it's always your money, while in the process they may want some personal data, phone numbers, whatever they can enter. SO, to avoid scammers never give anything.

It's really hard to get rid of them, and whatever you do, they are still somehow out of the question. Do your best research and enter this market. It seems to be most logical to stay away from everything you do not know.
Exactly as long as this is not to be familiar you have to be more careful of it and think or atleast you have to be more practical on what you have to do with , be alert for actuve scammers be aware that you cant be ine of their victim.

First and foremost be very cautious. The fact that you can lose your money within seconds is alarming and as such don't give out your private keys and personal data Scammers can be seen all around, and bitcoin is no exception to it. As each and every activity related to bitcoin takes place through the internet it is easy for the scammers to make people fall into the trap. To stay away from those scammers we need to analyze the particular project in a better way and one thing need to be considered is the luck. Some looks perfectly legit and at some point they scam us and by that situation we cannot do anything. Beware of scammers. Don't trust anybody

The unstable link in crypto-security is people. investors often make their own mistakes and because of this lose their money. so there are some rules: watch out for the security of your computer. use a dedicated PC or mobile device, as well as a secure network. Do not be lazy to create strong passwords, encrypt data and create from a backup. Be careful with mobile authentication and install two purses: the main and multicurrency. Use the services of third-party companies for cyber security and pay attention to browsers. and be sure to use caution on the network.

I have often seen in the tables on the bounty, where is your wallet's address was the key, you need to be careful. very often try to steal personal data through other sites, throw you a link and you go through it and all the data from them! you need to be very careful and never show your passwords to anyone!

Be careful and read more about the project before you invest or join in any bounty.  It is much important to read first and learn how the project really works.
In case of bounty, we only lost our time. But if we invest in the ICO, the worst is that our money is not doubled, our money can just disappear. No one can't just join without reading anything. Learn the project, then do invest after that.
Well, a lot of precautions out there that we need in order to prevent ourselves from scammers, we also have our own knowledge and we can feel strange feeling if something is wrong that is why we need to be careful with everything that we are doing so the scammers will be having a hard time making money.

I think that in this plan you should become paranoid and always think that you want to be deceived! It is necessary to check all the details, correctly write each letter, do not store the password in an easily accessible place, do not store money on the stock exchange and so on!

Sear for no one to show their passwords and private key, do not pass to non-secure links and be extremely careful
Do not ever share or show your password and private to anyone so that you can assure that no one can open your wallet. Furthermore, just keep your wallet in a safe place and do not trust anyone. Lastly, you must have some information on that so you can avoid scammers and be careful on social media.

Crypto in my Blood
June 11, 2018, 05:04:06 AM
Thanks, You have shared almost all the clues to identify the scammer. I am caught a scammer one time. The Scammer is added to coinmarketcap before finished their ICO and the price was so high in the exchange than ICO rate. After seeing this I got foolish and invested to that ICO. That was my first ICO. so sad happening.

You should use your head while evaluating any project or offer. If you are completely new to crypto, I will suggest you to invest only in top 10 coins  based on coinmarketcap.

How to Protect Yourself From Scammers?

There are some rules to get rid or protect yourself from scammers:

1. Don’t buy or invest in something that seems too good to be true.
   Many coins are rising, there are cryptocurrencies everywhere. We can't stop it. But one thing we should do to avoid getting scammed is that don't believe and invest so easily. Because remember, scammers are everywhere.

2. Protect your confidential informations.
   As we all know, many sites in the internet needs an information about you. Your age, birthday, location and etc. Don't ever post it there because who knows that it's just a scam. And they can use it against you or use it to make crime and you are the one who will be blamed after, because it is your information. Be wise.

3. Don't make hasty decision.
   Don't be caught too easily even though the offer seems to be worth to buy or to invest. Make sure that it is legit and it is not a scam. Scammers are wise. Think twice before you click.

4. Make researches.
   To get rid of scammers or to not get scammed is you need to research a lot of articles and news. Because reading and watching those things will help you secure your information, make you a better person to fight scammers and protect yourself from them.

That is so easy to answer. Being knowledgeable will be the main factor to avoid those scammer. Scammers tend to victimize all ignorance when it comes to this field.
If you are knowledgeable about cryptocurrency and bitcoin you can really avoid all the scammers, and then do not trust anyone especially the people who have negative background. In addition to that, do not share your password and private to anybody so that you can avoid all scammers on online.
